Abstract
Anterior urethral diverticulum is a rare entity. A 12 year old boy presented with poor stream, recurrent urinary tract infection and fluctuant penile swelling at penoscrotal junction. Diagnosis of anterior urethral diverticulum with the left vesicoureteral reflux was made by retrograde urethrogram and micturating cystourethrogram. A giant diverticulum requires open diverticulectomy with urethral reconstruction which was done successfully without any complication in this case.
